Using Existing Office 2007 Beta with newly installed Vista RC1

I just installed VISTA RC1 on a seperate partition and would like to run
Office 2007 B2TR (which I have installed under XP Pro). I know the Beat is
not available and the B2TR installer is useless without the Beta 2 installed
under the operating system. Is there any way that I can entice VISTA to see
me 2007 Office installation?Thanks

No, not since Office places a number of entries in the registry of the OS partition. You would need to install it again.

Thaks Milly, but I installed from the download that is no longer available. I
guess a registry "copy and past" would prove too dangerous. Any other
suggestions for a work around?

Do you have a friend who saved the files? Ask around.
